be placed at the head of the greatest, most powerful and influential democratic newspaper in the country. If his visionary theories pan out. look out for a democratic editorial ascension in Greeneastle.

Henri Watteuson’s latest compliment to the Cleveland administration is contained in the trite but somewhat ambiguous remark that “if his second term had come first, he never would have had the second.” In other words, Mr. Watterson evidently now regards the president as a man whose future is in the past. Mr. Watterson is of the same school of far-seeing democratic editors as is Mr. Dana, of the New York Sint, which school is worrying the small fry democratic editors (Greeneastle not excepted) so perceptibly. William E. Ci rtis, in the Chicago Jlecorri, says: “Secretary Gronham has Hiirreudcred his pension. 1 do not know why he hasdtHieso. He drew $30 u month for more than twenty years for a v«*ry severe wound he received in the legr July 1M4, before the rebel earthworks at Atlanta. The pension was surrendered .ast spring before he eame to Washington to take a seat in President t leveland’s cabinet, but not until after ho had accepted that honor. I do not see why there need be any connection of relation between the two circumstances, but people will naturally regard it as something more than a mere coincidence that an old republican soldier should discard his life-long political associations and his pension at the same time. No man that I can hear of ever before voluntarily surrendered a pension to which he believed himself entitled. Soldiers look upon a pension as a badge of honor. You might as well expect an old German veteran to return to the emperor his iron cross. If.Judge Gresham has ever given any reason for surrendering his pension it is a secret locked up in the dc<k of the commissioner of pensions. No papers have ever been placed upon tile.” If Gresham were courageous enough to confess it he doubtless would say he rues the day when he forsook the convictions and associations of a life time and cast his fortunes with the Cleveland Hoke Smith crowd. It was a stupendous blunder or worse, and he has probably recovered his senses enough now to realize it. Ii is apparent to everybody else. One point in Governor McKinley’s Lincoln day speech was very forcibly expressed as follows: “While congress is engaged in reducing the revenues M r. Cleveland's secretary of the treasury is inereas ing the revenues by what he calls •temporary loans.’ Congress is professedly reducing taxation to relieve the people of burdens, and Mr. Cleveland is adding to their burdens by fastening upon them a bounded debt of lf. r »0,080,000. It does not seem to occur to the leaders of the democratic party that the bonds of the government, hearing five per cent, interest, are a burden quite as oppressive as any system of tariff or taxation, and they will have to be paid in ten years by means of increased taxation. They seem to regard it quite iif. biisiticss like in pay the current expenses by borrowing as by raising the money by taxation. The $50,000,000 of bonds just issued will cost the people $75,000,000 to redeem, counting principal and interest, so that the present war against a protective tariff is not only carried out at the people’s expense, hut for every $2 borrowed nearly $3 must lie raised by taxation in the near future to settle the account.” Borrowing money

way of legislating and financiering. Owing to the fact thar the Ban nek Times dishes up the news so

slow-going journals more popular with the masses. These longwinded essays, sueh as the Democrat ground out last week in answer to a ten line editorial in the Banner Times, are but the same old free-trade theories which were placed before the people in the late campaign and believed by many poor deluded creatures. They are all right in theory, but it's the practice that plays hob with them, and no people on earth know this better than those who are now being ground down by realistic democratic poverty, brought on by this! democratic theorizing. Whenever this country has wanted something done it has turned to the republican party. Many who voted the democratic ticket in 18112 had never seen this country under absolute democratic control an ! were misled by free-trade theories as set out by democratic journals. The cold, practical effects of democracy are now before these voters, and that is why the country is now turning again to the republican party. The republican party has demonstrated what it could do; the people know it. They have tried democracy a year and have learned its imbecility; the people know it. This condition is what is now driving these democratic editors to write columns of visionary theories, and is setting them crazy by scores. This country, which was prospering under republican rule a little over one year ago, is now paralyzed by democracy, soup houses are necessary, and this practical truth is what is making republicans out of democrats faster than any other argument can.

It is quite time that the farmer began to take stock. He should count his cattle, horses, sheep and poultry, examine into their condition, care for them, and husband up his resources generally. This must he done promptly, because u great change will almost immediately come upon the condition of the farmers. Produce from fon igu (arms is to be admitted free ol duty into the United States, causing greater competition, more stuff in the markets, and consequently lower piices. Manufactured goods from foreign countries are to come in greater quantities, and many of our mills must he closed or run on part time. This will lessen the demand for farm produce. The people who have been working in the mills will have less money to spend, and, with the markets glutted with foreign farm stuff's, prices will he very low. The American farmers must be prepared.

our Saturday contemporaries, they have nothing much to do now but rare back and grind out theoristic democratic editorial matter. They take short, painful to them, bits of truth ns they drop from the Banner Times’ columns, and by col unins of beautiful theory try to drive into a background what the thinking people know are facts. We can’t help but enjoy this liberal quotation that is being made from this paper, for we realize that it is the only way bright gems of cold facts are to be placed before the hide hound constituency which these papers eater to, for the reason that many of this constituency, being dyed in the wool, never see but the democratic side of the great questions.
